A preliminary confer rncc on the Chamberlain bill, providing for the disposition of the unsold por tion ot the Oregon & California land grant, was held at the Department of Justice today. Assurance was given that early reports will ue sent to Con gress setting; forth the views of the Attorney-General, the Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Agriculture. The Chamberlain bill formed the basis of the conference, but the subject was discussed in all its phases. At the conference were also Ernest Knabel. C. J. Smyth and S. J. Williams, of the Department of Justice, and Land Commissioner Tallman. Later John Lind entered as representative of sev eral persons who contracted to buy lands from the railroad company but Jailed to get deeds. Lind'a clients lay claim to acme 8U.O00 acres and be was present to urge a provision to protect their Interests as innocent purchasers. Railroad's latere DlsensneA. There was considerable discussion as to how much Congress should concede to the railroad company, in view of the Supreme Court decision, and what it should demand of the company. After the decision had been reviewed at length, it was generally agreed that the land grant bill should contain an out-and-out declaration that the ran road's interest in the grant that por tion which has been sold, as well as the unsold portion should be limited to t2.3i an acre. The railroad company having already collected on past sales some sj.ouu.oov in. excess of what it was lawfully en titled to, it was agreed that the bill should provide for the deduction from the receipts from future sales the full amount of excess payments made in the past, so that when the matter is closed the total proceeds derived by the rail road company shall be the equivalent of S3. 60 lor each acre ol the enure grant. Plan ef Taxation. Proposed. Officials were of the opinion that the lands while in the hands of the rail road company should not be taxable at a greater valuation than 92. 50 an acre, as that was the limit of the railroad company's interest established by law. ' Neither did the officials believe that the state could force sale of the lands in any way inconsistent with the terms laid down in the grant. It was recog Hired, however, that the lands have not been paying any taxes for the past three years and that about $1,000,000 of accrued taxes is now due the several counties. To protect the counties it was pro posed that one of two plans might be adopted by Congress either to pay the counties the amount of back taxes due from the railroad company out of the first proceeds from sales, or that Con- gress provide for the payment of the accrued amounts to the counties and be itself reimbursed as the sales proceed. Payments Held Essential. The payment of back taxes was regarded as highly essential, as it was thought the lands would sell more readily if all taxes are paid at the time the lands are put In market, or if some provision Is made for paying the taxes, so that they will not become an additional burden on purchasers. There was general concurrence in the suggestion made by John Lind that those who hnd contracted to buy lands from the railroad company prior to the institution of the Government suit, but who had not secured deed to railroad land before the institution of the suit. should have practically the eamfl treatment as other purchasers who came within the provisions of the Innocent purchaser's act. Only those who secured deeds were benefited by that act. and unless Congress so leg islates, the intended purchasers rep resented by Mr. Lind can get no relief. Claimants Called Ca to Pay. It was thought fair, however, that the purchaser represented by Mr. Llnd shouli pay to the Government $2.50 an acre and. in addition, pay the Govern ment the amount which they had con tracted to pay the railroad company. This would place them on an equality with the Innocent purchasers whose claims have been adjusted. In the main, the general provisions of the Chamberlain bill seemed to meet approval, though there was some di versity of opinion as to details. It was thought wise to divide the lands Into mineral, timber and agricultural and to dispose of them in some Buch wav as the Chamberlain bill suggests. selling the timber before disposing of the timber land itself, but opening ag ricultural lands to immediate entry. The suggestion was advanced that all the lands probably should be classi fied and all timber lands carefully appraised before being placed on the market, in order that the Government may know Whether bids for timber are at a fair rate. There was no representative of the foreet service present at the conference today, but the other departmedts have been notified unofficially that the for est service wants a part of the grant thrown into the forest reserves. Be fore any of the departments formulate their reports to Congress the forest service will be consulted officially and jts views ascertained. So far as the officials in today's con ference were concerned, it was their belief that if any lands are to go Into the forest reserves it should be only the odd-numbered sections which lie within the limits of existing reserves, the addition beng made solely for the purpose of eonsoldatng the Govern ernment reserve areas, but as a cond ton for adding some of the grant lands to the reserves, it was thought to be fair that the forest service should elim inate from the reserve other lands now in the reserves. By this plan the tax able area in each of the land-grant counties would not be diminished. The conference today was not bind ing, as none of the Cabinet officers having jurisdiction were present.

All went well with him until in 1903, he thinks, he met with an accident. A partner he dis trusted figured in that accident in some way, but Just how he could not recall. From that time his mind was partly a blank. A few incidents stand out, he said, but of main events he has lost all sight. In late years he became ob sessed with the idea that he was los ing his mind. "I dream sometimes that I am in anatorium. and I yell in my sleep, he said yesterday. "I have dreamed of being chased for miles and being locked up in places with other men. i nave been haunted by frightful nightmares. and I bave felt often I was losing my mind. And It is so hard to remember; I can't sometimes: I simply can't." He did not remember how he came to Portland, but said that he came here about July from Fend O'Reille. Idaho. Ho seemed to remember faintly, in a letter from his brother, that the fam ily had moved to the Northwest, but he had no idea, he said, that they might all be In Portland.
